did not think DIR. Sewers was in a position
to judge of the matter, as he did not know
the President, and what he said was based
merely on the Assumption that the Presi-

President weighed less than when he came
to Washington, and really took as much
exercise as most men. 1t was true that he
did not walk about the city, but he fire.
quently walked in the country, and there
were other ways in which he got exercise.
Altogether the President was in good con-
dition, and there was no reason for appre-
hension regarding his health.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 23.-The Board or
State House Commissioners met at the Cap
itol yesterday to look into the question OF
the modification Of some of the plans origi-
nally made, and will hold their regular meet
ing April l. Superintendent Parnham says
that they are now making the preliminary
arrangements TO let the contract for enclos-
ing the whole building. The advertisement
for bids Will be published in about twenty
days and the contract will probably be
awarded as soon thereafter as the board can
thoroughly consider all the bids. When the

will be no delay until the walls of the CEN
trial building are up and the roof is on,
which he thinks will all be accomplished by
the time the next Legislature meets.

Burned and Twelve Lives Lost.
BEssEMER. Mich, March 24.-The board
ing-house of Bond & Clancy at the Colby
mine burned at about four o'clock yester-
day morning. Twelve persons persisted in
the flames. The building was a two-story
frame structure and burned like finder,
leaving no time for alarm after the fire was
discovered. Twenty-one boarders occu-
pied rooms in the second story. Only nine
of these escaped, by jumping from the
windows. The names Of the victims, who
were laborers at the Colby mine, are as
follows: John Sutton, John Lyons,
Max PriXdell, Simmons Rains, Henry
Saam, T. Brassa, J. Brassa, Will

thought that they can recover: August

Lynch and John Floyd. The women of the
house escaped in their night clothing. A
coroner's jury was impaneled and returned
a verdict of accidental death, and exonera-

The mercury yesterday morning at six

There can, therefore, be no further doubt
of the fact that staggering blow has been

to estimate the extent of the damage for a
day or two. yet The freeze was general
throughout the coast belt of the State, and
